AC reverses the current in periods, and the current flows in 2 directions. 
DC only flows in one direction and is constant. 

AC is typically used to transfer power over long distances from a generator to your home, stepping it up after it's generated to send it over the distance, then stepping it back down so that it is usable in your home.

DC is used typically inside of devices, as it sends a certain amount of electricity through the wires.

Nicolas Tesla, was ripped off by Edison to replace his DC stations with AC instead. ^^

Explain what voltage,current, resistance are and how they relate to Ohms law. Then give examples
SOVA2 [1]
Voltage is the difference in charge between two points.
Current is the rate the charge flows
Resistance is the tendency a material has to resist the flow of charge (current)
Combining voltage resistance and current Ohm developed the formula
V (Voltage)= I (Current) x R (Resistance)

We use towels to dry our body after taking a shower,why?<br><br>​
9966 [12]

Answer:

A wet body has a relatively high concentration of water. When this is transferred to a towel, the large surface area of the towel fabric distributes the water molecules over a much greater surface area, so the relative concentration is lower.

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns
Tasya [4]

Complete Question

How many turns are in its secondary coil, if its input voltage is 120 V and the primary coil has 210 turns.

The output from the secondary coil is  12 V

Answer:

The value  is  N_s  =  21 \  turns

Explanation:

From the equation we are told that

   The input voltage is  V_{in}  = 120 \ V

   The number of turns of the primary coil is N_p =  210 \  turn

    The output from the secondary is V_o =  12V

From the transformer equation

   \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  =\frac{N_s}{V_o}

Here N_s is the number of turns in the secondary coil

=> N_s  =  \frac{N_p}{V_{in}}  *  V_s

=>N_s  =  \frac{210}{120}  *  12

=>N_s  =  21 \  turns

In a pig caller can produce a sound intensity level of 107 dB. How many pig callers would be needed to generate an intensity lev
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

20 pig callers

Explanation:

Given that:

A pig caller produced intensity level of  a sound = 107 dB

To find how many pig callers required to generate an intensity level of 120 dB;

we have:

120 dB - 107 dB = 13 dB

Taking the logarithm function;

10 \ log \bigg(\dfrac{I}{I_o} \bigg) = 13 \ dB

where;

I_o = initial intensity

log \bigg(\dfrac{I}{I_o} \bigg) = 1.3

\dfrac{I}{I_o}=  10^{1.3 }

I = 19.95I_o

I ≅ 20 pig callers
